The last time I got properly fit for irons, I was fit for the Mizuno JPX-900 Forged. And I’ve primarily been gaming them ever since. A couple months ago, that changed when I went in and did a fitting for the new PXG 0311 Gen 7 irons. The process was super smooth, and when compared to the O311p or new Black Ops, the results were clear, the best PXG Irons for my game were the Gen 7 0311xp. But do they live up to expectations? I’ve now played 7 full rounds of golf with these new irons, and had numerous…

Over the last decade we’ve seen a number of completely new categories pop up for golf products. Game tracking systems like Arccos or Shotscope… Golf GPS Speakers like the Wingman View or Blue Tees Player… But one of the most unique new categories is also one that has the potential to have the greatest impact on how you experience golf. What is it? The remote caddie. https://youtu.be/2KJqh4qXFZQ You could also call it an electric push cart, follow cart, or any number of other terms, but essentially these are remote-controlled push carts that allow you to essentially walk the course hands-free…
The team over at Blue Tees has been consistently rolling out solid products for a few years now. Whether you’re looking to grab the brand-new Series 4 Ultra, or their Player+ GPS Speaker (which is the best golf speaker on the market), you can’t go too far wrong. Even better, they’ve been cool enough to hook up Breaking Eighty readers with a 10% off Blue Tees Coupon Code on any new device! Use the code “BREAKINGEIGHTY10” to snag the discount.

I’ve been saying since 2014 that Arccos Caddie is hands down the best overall golf product out there. There’s simply nothing else out there that can give you the statistics, feedback, and on course information that Arccos can. I’ve played well over 300 rounds with it, and being able to not only figure out what I need to work on, but to also be able to review every shot from my travels is pretty cool. Arccos has been kind enough to hook up Breaking Eighty readers with a 15% off coupon code. Use the code “BE15” to save 15% on anything they…
It’s 2026, and the golf rangefinder market looks nothing like it did when I started reviewing them. GPS is seemingly baked into everything now. Smart rangefinders pair with an app and hand you club recommendations right in the viewfinder. Watches talk to lasers, lasers talk to launch monitors, and everybody’s chasing the same “smart ecosystem” story. So when I sat down to think about whether the Voice Caddie TL1 was still worth talking about in 2026, the honest question was: does a rangefinder that just does one thing really well still have a place in a market full of devices…
Over the last 4 years I’ve played over 150 rounds with Vessel golf bags. The Player III is one of my all-time favorites. More recently I switched off between the Player IV and Player IV Pro DXR. Then there was the Player Air (until one of its legs got snapped off, thanks Delta…). Needless to say, any time a new bag comes out in their hallmark “Player” series, I get excited. When my new navy blue Player V Pro arrived, I was thrilled. Everything about it looks and feels like models of the past, but with some very smart upgrades…
Four years ago I’d barely heard of Reynolds Lake Oconee. Since then, I’ve visited 3 times and I count it as one of my favorite golf destinations in the country. I mean, there’s just so much to like. There are 7 golf courses that each provide a distinctly different playing experience. The Ritz Carlton Lake Oconee is one of the most unique resort hotels in the country with its beautiful lakeside setting. And if you’re lucky enough to be a Reynolds Platinum Member, you get access to insane amenities, the over-the-top Creek Club – and now, the brand-new Richland Course.…
When it comes to golf rangefinders, it’s rare that I see something that’s entirely different than anything on the market. But that’s exactly what you get with the Voice Caddie SL3 rangefinder. We’ve seen GPS “Smart Rangefinders” before. On the lower end, there was the ill-fated Precision Pro R1. Then there’s the most high-tech rangefinder out there, the Garmin Approach Z82. The SL3 is aiming squarely at the latter. It has many of the same high-tech features as the Garmin, but it takes a bit of a different approach. Rather than building all of it’s GPS data into the viewfinder…
For the first 10 years of my golf travel, I used a Club Glove Last Bag for all of my trips. It’s been on dozens of flights, to 14 countries, and is still in fantastic shape given the beating I’ve put it through. But it’s not perfect. It’s a little small, and it can be a bit cumbersome to haul through airports and into hotels. A couple of years back I picked up the Sun Mountain Club Glider Meridian, and it’s been my go-to travel bag ever since thanks to a genuinely unique wheel system that pops out and makes…
For the past year, I’ve heard countless stories about how a L.A.B. (Lie Angle Balanced) Putter is a cheat code for golf. Every single person I know who plays with one swears by it, and has said it’s made a night and day difference in their golf game. But it wasn’t until recently that I was actually able to pick one up and put it through its paces. The result? The hype for this new type of putter may just be real. In this review I’m going to give a full review of the new LAB Golf DF3 putter, tell…
